Children of Alcoholics in the Schools: Where Are They? Their Representation in Special Education.

Stern, Robert; And Others

Psychology in the Schools, v28 n2 p116-23 Apr 1991

Explored the hypothesis that there is a greater frequency of children of alcoholics in special classes for Emotional/Behavioral Disordered (ED) and Learning-Disabled (LD) children. Children of alcoholics were not overrepresented in any diagnostic categories, however significant differences were noted in the relationship of marital status and chemical dependency in immediate family.
